Or pay them the same as American workers and allow that money have an amazing effect on the world. Or we can continue only hiring Americans. Those $100 hoodies aren't going to buy themselves.

Neat idea, but shadows cast on the ground don't move around an object a full 360deg over the course of the day. If the metaphor is that we're looking at the object from above, then the angle of the shadow would depend on the time

Good thing HN wasn't around durning the development of most of humanity's great inventions. "So your telling me I'm going to have to hold my food over this fire for 15 minutes before I eat it? No thank you, I'd stic

No one should have to consider living in their car when starting a business. I guess that's how it goes in America.

Actually, the evidence suggests that a narrow four lane road is better than a wide four lane highway when it comes to roadway user safety. But we should get rid of highways downtown. We should make all streets safer for pedestrians and cycl

I think I would prefer the "solitude" of a 360deg coding environment that would be afforded by an Oculus, NR headphones, and music. No visual distractions! Besides, I imagine that this setup would be cheaper than two monitors and

It's the New Yorker. They spell "coordinate" different than the rest of the English-speaking world.

We didn't have computers to do static analysis or form-finding. Construction with new materials was necessarily conservative. Concrete (or cement in this case) is hardly a new material. The method of assembly is, and the fact remains t

The project form is disappointing. Unprecedented building methods should result in a building that looks like nothing that came before it. Ironic too that the building was designed on paper with such romantic rendering of the elevation.

There were suppose to be 50 healthcare.govs. Unfortunately, the intransigence of some Republican governors have left us with more states than intended falling back on a Federal solution. One of the governing principles of the ACA was that t

The analogy is silly. Of course you wouldn't design a door that "constantly moves" but you might design a door that slowly revealed itself as you moved through an architectural experience. And besides, a website is not a door

There's plenty of width in most roads, save for some narrow places you find in the older cities in the Northeast and Atlantic coasts.

I think the only form of transportation that's less safe than automobiles and space travel is helicopters.

It shouldn't be incumbent upon the cyclist to ensure motorists see her, beyond doing the things required by law. Cars are bigger, faster, and there's more of 'em. They need to watch out for everyone that is more vulnerable.

You already pay a monthly fee to have a crap drive to work in your car. If only you could be charged for the negative externalities of driving, the actual cost of maintaining the road, to park your car, to fill your gas tank...maybe you&#x2
